I totally agree with the benefits of seeing all as consciousness.

Even the decision to see everything as consciousness, even the

reasoning that consciousness is all there can be, even the faith in

the scriptures that it is so, even the confidence in teachers'

testimony, even the inspiration of reading Krishna proclaim this in

the Bhagavad Gita -- all this helps too! The mind becomes more

sattvic, less tamasic, less rajasic, more pliable, more flexible --

more transparent. The heart becomes lighter and more joyous -- even

if this is not approached as an exercise in bhakti yoga, it happens

that way nevertheless. Because of the great unity between the jnana

and the bhakti approaches. Like Flannery O'Connor's story

title, "Everything That Rises Must Converge."

respected greats,

the aspiration of the soul is to

merge with the ONE, like the drop of water merging

with the ocean .

in bhakti, the effort is for the

bhakta to merge with the lord, both becoming one.

THIS IS THE AIM OF ANY SADHAKA, direct

or indirect.

it follows that bhakti is the shortest

path to realization.[the known road is the shortest].

the added bonus is that the sadhaka

gets purified, and is able to settle more permanently

in the attained merger.

with highest regards,

a.v.krshnan.
